| Description:-The Routing and Remote Access (RRAS) service provides multi-protocol LAN-to-LAN, LAN-to-WAN, virtual private network (VPN), and network address translation (NAT) routing services. In addition, Routing and Remote Access also provides dial-up and VPN remote access services.
Routing and Remote Access replaces the Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) and Remote Access Service (RAS) features from Windows NT 4.0. Routing and Remote Access is a single, integrated service that terminates connections from either dial-up or VPN clients or that provides routing (IP, IPX, and Services for Macintosh), or both. With Routing and Remote Access, your server can function as a remote access server, a VPN server, a gateway, or a branch-office router. For more information, see Routing and Remote Access.
If this service is stopped or disabled, incoming remote access and VPN connections, dial-on-demand connections, and routing protocols will not be available.

Description:-The Secondary Logon service allows the user to create processes in the context of different security principals. Common use of this service is for administrators, who may log on as a restricted user and use secondary logon to temporarily run an application as Administrator.
This service enables starting processes running under alternate credentials.
Another feature of this service is the RunAs.exe command. With the runas command, you can run programs (*.exe), saved MMC consoles (*.msc), shortcuts to programs and saved MMC consoles, and Control Panel items. You can run them as an administrator while you are logged on to your computer as a member of another group, such as the Users or Power Users group. You can use the runas command start any program, MMC console, or Control Panel item. As long as you provide the appropriate user account and password information, the user account has the ability to log on to the computer, and the program, MMC console, or Control Panel item is available on the system and to the user account.
If this service is stopped or disabled, the runas command will fail and any calls made to the CreateProcessWithLogonW API will fail. This will also cause the runas user interface snap-in which enables launching applications as another user to generate a Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access them error message.
*On Windows 2000 this service was called the RunAs Service.
